Stenberg scored a goal, added two hits and logged five PIM in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

Stenberg fought Ryan Leonard in the second period. The 20-year-old Stenberg then had the last laugh with a third-period tally to stretch the Blues' lead to 2-0. The rookie forward hasn't found consistent offense in a bottom-six role yet, earning nine points, 22 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-4 rating over 24 appearances. His fight was his first trip to the sin bin in the NHL.

Desharnais notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Desharnais missed one game due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is back in the lineup in a bottom-four role now, giving him minimal appeal in fantasy. He's earned just six points with 25 shots on net, 77 hits, 68 blocked shots and 60 PIM over 41 outings this season, though that doubles his point total from 51 contests a year ago.

Chernyshov produced an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Chernyshov missed four games after suffering a concussion. The 20-year-old winger was back on the top line Tuesday and logged 16 minutes of ice time, setting up a Will Smith goal. Chernyshov has 12 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 17 appearances this season, so likely, he's here to stay in the NHL.

Gaudette scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Gaudette has two goals and an assist, as well as 17 shots on net and a minus-2 rating, over 11 outings in March. The 29-year-old forward may get a little more security in the lineup since Ryan Reaves (hand) is expected to miss nearly all of the rest of the season. Gaudette has earned 15 goals, 23 points, 84 shots on net, 46 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 56 contests. While the playing time may rise, he's a non-factor in fantasy if he doesn't get power-play usage.

Wood scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Wood snapped a three-game slump with the tally. The 21-year-old forward continues to work down the middle, though he's winning just 43.9 percent of his faceoffs on the year. Wood is showing top-six potential with 26 points, 91 shots on net, 44 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 60 appearances in his rookie year. He's also averaging just 12:08 of ice time, so he needs to round out his game to be trusted with more minutes.

Evangelista scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Evangelista had been limited to one assist over the previous eight games. This was the first time he's scored on a goalie since Feb. 4 versus the Wild. The playmaking winger is up to 10 goals, 49 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 70 appearances this season. While there's some upside to his game, Evangelista's an offense-only option in fantasy.

Josi scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Josi snapped a 14-game goal drought, a span in which he had eight assists and a minus-10 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman hasn't had a multi-game point drought since Jan. 3-10, but he's been more steady than explosive on offense lately. For the season, the captain has 12 goals, 48 points, 157 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 59 appearances.

Skjei scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Skjei has four points over his last four contests, adding a plus-8 rating in that span. The 31-year-old defenseman has had few strong stretches this season despite playing in a top-four role regularly. He's now at two goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 61 hits and a minus-4 rating over 71 appearances overall.

Petrovic was scratched for the 13th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

The Stars are carrying nine blueliners currently, and that has left Petrovic on the outside looking in since the Olympic break. The 34-year-old defenseman may get some playing time once the Stars' playoff positioning gets solidified. For the season, he's at nine points, 56 shots on net, 47 PIM, 83 hits and 77 blocked shots over 51 outings, which is his most productive season since 2017-18, when he had 13 points in 67 games for the Panthers.

Lundkvist logged an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Devils.

Lundkvist hasn't been much of a factor offensively lately, earning three assists over 12 games in March. He has added a minus-1 rating, 14 shots on net and 10 blocked shots this month. Despite his lackluster production, he's been a fixture in the lineup while the Stars carry nine defensemen on the roster, including some that would be more suited to shutdown work. For the season, Lundkvist has 10 points, 43 shots on net, 41 blocks, 25 hits and a plus-9 rating across 44 contests.
